Sections of Seventh and Main streets will be reduced to one lane for the next month to accommodate streetcar work.

Starting Monday, Seventh Street will be down to one lane between Walnut and Main streets, according to a news release from the City of Cincinnati. Main Street will be reduced to one lane between Sixth and Seventh streets.

The restrictions will be in place until April 24, according to the release.

Motorists will also not be able to turn left onto Main Street from Seventh. Access to main will be through Sycamore Street to Sixth.

Duke Energy contractors will perform underground utility maintenance during the restrictions, according to the release. They'll be reconstructing two electrical vaults in the center of the intersection and completing work for the streetcar.

Detours will be posted and everyone - motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists - are asked to use caution.
